I've rebooted numerous times since I've gotten the phone. I prefer the stock messaging app and don't want to *have to* use something else to make it work right.

Any other ideas?
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Looks like this is one of the bugs on the phone.....

Thank god all bugs are software related so far. With nexus it wad mostly hardware/software things
[Vibrant General] shellis129:
I think I figured it out (at least for me)...

I disabled the "puzzle lock" thinking it would be a pain in the neck when trying to unlock the screen. Come to find out, disabling it is what is leaving the display on when receiving a text. Enabled the puzzle lock, and the display comes on for a sec or two and then shuts off when I get a message.

I prefer very few steps to get where I wanna go. I don't like passwords or codes when unlocking my screen so I disabled it. Either way, though, I have swype the screen to unlock it so it's not a big deal to have the puzzle lock on...

hi im having a problem with my phone.im on energy rom (cookie's) and before was on elagancia (htc messsaging version).and before that i tested prestige x rom.i usually flash using the sd card and had no problems till now.

my problem is when i watch a movie it gets stuck after sometime and other times it just restarts all of a sudden.i have checked with two memory cards(both 8 gd sandisk)..and after it restarts it won't boot.sometimes it gets stuck in the htc logo with out showing the rom info in the bottom and after i reset a couple of times it'll get to the screen where i have to enter the pin and then again it'll get stuck and have to restart again.this happened in miri's rom too and i did a task29 and installed using the pc after taking out the sim and sd card.same thing happens.and after a fresh flash im able to watch the same movie without any probs.and when it gets reset the first time after a hardreset or flash the time willbe changed and the date is changed to Aug 1980.i have formatted the sd card and tried many times...this started after i went back to elagancia after testing prestige x.

please help:confused::confused:

edit sometimes it restarts when transferring files both in disk drive and active sync modes
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demon_man:
when you flash a rom are you formatting the card could have a problem with the things on the card, are you hard resetting after flash? what radio are u using is it compatible
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliv:
yea always hard reset after a flash...and the radio is compatible.have no problem making calls.and formatted the card after this problems started.and the same thing has happened on 3 different roms so far...the phone crashes while watching movies on coreplayer,TCPMP,video player in sense....and after reset the date goes to 1980....the same movies plays with no problem on another leo:confused:

Sounds like some issues I have had when bouncing around different ROMs. I find that when I am having problems like this, flashing the stock ROM resets everything. Then, I can task29, flash radio and ROM and no issues.

In other words, try flashing the stock ROM, let it boot completely to Sense and then Task29.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bountygiver:
got the same problem, but when the movie stops playing, got buzzing sound and whole device hang, all keys no respond, but hard buttons do activate the LEDs

have to pull battery out/soft reset

only face this when using energy rom, not facing in chucky and maesus and stock

anyone else using energy rom has this problem?

using both TCPMP and coreplayer
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliv:
yea the same thing happened on energy,elagancia dutty's latest rom but for me after taking out the battery / soft reset it wont boot the first time have to do couple of resets before it boots and when it finally boots the date is set to 1980 on all three roms (whats with this date thing?? is it some kind of safe mode or something?)...so i dont think its a rom issue,went back to stock and it got stuck in the personalization screen:confused:so did a task29 came to dutty's again and still not working.will try going back to stock and try again:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thompsd:
Check that your battery pins are not bent. I did this pulling the battery and the phone went into an endless reboot loop. Easy fix, just straighten them out and carry a paperclip with you at all times, this is a windows phone after all.

Hello.

I have the same problem. Stuck at HTC Logo, freezes und auto reboots. Any news on this ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindrage:
I did the same, Reverted to Stock SPL and Radio, But my phone still restarts..

Why does it happend? is it something wrong with the harddrive or something?

It really destroys our devices, Still due to our own risks, is there any solution for this?

I flashed the rom 2-3 times, With prefered radio and Hard reseted all the time after flash.
[Hero CDMA General] budnfrida:
I have been searching but have not come up with an answer. Is there a way to use numbers to unlock the phone instead up the pattern unlock?

thanks ,
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Closest thing I know of on 2.1 is using the "pattern lock" buttons as "pins" you just press them instead of swiping.

DarchDroid has it.

On Froyo/CM6 there IS an option to use a number pad pin. So it depends on what to run
[Hero CDMA General] budnfrida:
Thanks for the info. I am getting ready to flash CM6 rom.

Is there a way to specify a ringtone for Unknown and private users? My work blocks caller id, and as such shows up as Unknown on my phone when they call. They are the only Unknown caller i usually get. I would like to put a custom ringtone for them.

Googling suggested that you can save the Unknown call as a contact, however when i did this (called my phone from work - menu - save to contacts - selected a specified ringtone) it didn't work. It ignored the contact and used my default ring.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Thanks

*ROOT REQUIRED*

AdjBrightness adjusts screen brightness for *rooted* android device. It can set the brightness from 2 ~ 255 and lock it so that most of other applications cannot change it. Alternatively, if you don't want to lock the brightness, "auto restore" option can restore it after screen turned on.

It also can turn off the background light of buttons.

Saves the battery and eyes!

Anyway, IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM, REBOOT!

It can be downloaded from market or just download the attachment.

More information: http://blog.deskangel.com/?p=350.

Download the latest version from android market:

market://search?q=pname:com.deskangel.adjbrightness

fixed bugs for Android 1.6 system.
[Android Apps and Games] rjmjr69:
This would be really nice if you could add an auto feature that has more too it than the stock one to save more battery. Like winmo Lumos

Works very well with my Evo 4g running Damage3.2.3 neterty kernal 7.1a rooted

Maybe also a widget with custom or pre-defined settings for easy access?

I really wish you could make this like lumos MANY MANY users have asked for this already for the evo
[Android Apps and Games] fantastxmw:
What Lumos is? Where can I found it?
[Android Apps and Games] jwickers_1234:
Most excellent ! finally i can stop those stupid backlighted buttons when i use my phone in the dark :)

But i found the brightness range is the same as what i have normally from the phone manual settings (Desire), i hoped it could go lower.
[Android Apps and Games] redbull320:
don't work on Galaxy S.

a question: can i make it darker then 0% (in the settings>) ?

sry for my english :P

[Android Apps and Games] rjmjr69:
Lumos is an auto dimmer for WINdOWS based smart phones it on this forum in the WINDOWS sections
[Android Apps and Games] fantastxmw:
AdjBrightness set the absolute brightness value, not a percent.
[Android Apps and Games] fantastxmw:
You are right. Galaxy's are not supported. It works perfectly on Hero.
[Android Apps and Games] mttmllns:
This app is great. It turns the backlight completely off on the myTouch 3G which is just what I wanted. It would be great if you could add the ability to make shortcuts on the desktop to a particular setting.

So I could hit a shortcut/widget on the desktop to change the brightness to 10 (backlight off) and then one to turn it back to 20 (backlight on).

Thanks for the app!
[Android Apps and Games] bear78:
I found out about AdjBrightness yesterday in a thread where it was discussed it's possible to lower the brightness more than the standard brightness settings in HTC Sendse. I'm running a rooted HTC Desire with Android 2.2 (Modaco) but I can't see that the brightness get any lower with AdjBrightness than with default settings in Sense. I have given AdjBrightness root access as well. Have I missunderstood what the application actually does, can't the brightness not go below the lowest value you can set in the settings in HTC Sense? Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] fantastxmw:
You can disable "Automatic brightness" in system settings and try again. I use HTC Sense too and it works.

[Android Apps and Games] mojohn:
Hi. New member to the forum.

I have a rooted Backflip (US AT&T) and previously installed adjBrightness. It worked fine the last time I used it before today. However, for whatever reason, today it throws force close errors.

As I recall, the only thing I did to my phone was delete some AT&T crapware (the radio and music apps).

Any ideas?

Thanks, mojohn
[Android Apps and Games] fantastxmw:
Hi, could you tell me when the force close occurred? When starting the AdjBrightness application, or after clicked a button, or after turn on the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] eViL D::
Nice app. Just need some sort of homescreen widget & a new icon, it's hideous.

Hi, will you plan to support the galaxy s at some point, or is it just not possible to lower the brightness on this device?
[Android Apps and Games] fantastxmw:
I once made a version to support galaxy s, it can adjust the brightness, but people reported they could not turn on the screen afterwards.

Sorry, I am afraid it won't be fixed until I can access a galaxy s device.
[Android Apps and Games] themapleboy:
I love this app it was sent to me by a friend when i complained that sometimes the lowest brightness setting was to bright. Lo and behold this app fixes that, you should approach Cyanogen about making this come standard in his rom.

Hi! I think you "meet" me before. I reported issues from my 1.6 X10i. Now I'm on 2.1, but still doesn't work. It thinks that it have no su permissions, however, it has. Is a logcat log could be helpful?
[Android Apps and Games] zeroh:
Hi. I just have one change I'd like to suggest.

I have the adjbrightness on my nook color and I use the Lock Brightness feature due to other apps that keeps changing the brightness when I use them. Now, it works fine but when I put the NC in sleep mode (press the power button), the brightness is still locked and the lcd lamp is still on while the screen is blank. It should turn off the screen completely.

Hope I explained that sufficiently. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DemonWav:
Us Galaxy S users don't even need this app, we have something better: a kernel. Look for Voodoo.
[Android Apps and Games] duperblammo:
Thanks for making this app.

The lowest brightness, however, is still too bright for nighttime reading.

If you look at the stock alarm clock, it has a night mode, which is really low brightness. I wish this app could go that low.

However, if 2 really is the lowest brightness, perhaps you could take a different approach. Since some of these devices have amoled displays, darker colors actually do save battery. So, if you made a semitransparent black layer that covers the entire screen, the effect on both brightness and battery life should be the same as a lower brightness.

If you somehow were a able to build this, it would be an instant purchase for me.

Here's hoping.
[Android Apps and Games] cesium:
What does Voodoo have to do with brightness? :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] Adolf1994:
I met the same problem.

Btw, when I try to set brightness under 0%(could be 35-45 in AdjBrightness) in Miren browser, the screen goes black, and then it come back like it's on 100%, then fades to the value I set and the lockscreen doesn't switch off the screen(battery sucking, yeah).

And the same happens if I do it from ConnectBot :(

[Android Apps and Games] jdb1981:
Making Brightness Setting Persistent

I'm probably oversimplifying, but is there a command line method to get the result you've achieved with "locking" the brightness setting? I use your app all the time, but I really only have one specific situation in which I need it, and I've been trying to replicate the functionality with Tasker and a script.

Basically, I'm running:

su

echo 2 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

and I was hoping that you could tell me a CL method to get the result you've achieved, as far as preventing other apps from affecting the brightness setting once it's set. Your app is the only one I've found that manages this, and it's perfect for reading at night with Aldkio.

Alternately, if you could just make a widget that could quickly start up a custom brightness/home row light disabling profile (and an equally easy way to turn it back to normal, home row lights included,) I'd gladly pay 5-10 bucks for that.
[Android Apps and Games] italiano1964:
I was having the same issues with AdjBrightness. It is buggy on the Nook Color, so I removed it. Then someone on another forum suggested Screen Filter (free from the Market), and it works very well with my rooted Nook Color.
[Android Apps and Games] Adolf1994:
Yeah, Screen Filter works on my X10i too. thanks bro :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Is there any way to turn off the buttons on the HTC Desire at all? This would be perfect for ebook reading at night and help further with the battery.
[Android Apps and Games] scotch whisky:
Fantastic just the app I have been looking for!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab which I purchased mainly for reading ebooks at night. I major irritation of this device is howerer, whenever you turn a page four mini seach lights i.e. button lights come on. They are so bright that it makes the device virtually unuseable. All ebook readers I have tried have the same problem.

This app turns off the button lights and keeps them off. Great!!!!!!!

I have a couple of "minor" problems however.

1. The "Button back light" temporarily toggle doesn't work. I get a message "Cannot get the status...........". The "Lock off button light" and "Lock on button light" in options work perfectly.

2. This app overrides the native brightness controls preventing use of the "auto" settings.

I was going to return the Samsung Galaxy Tab - Not now!

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] MoneyAddyct:
I have a Samsung Captivate, and I love this app, but one problem: The setting I change it to doesn't "stick." I usually set it to 20 and then occasionally I'll see a little random message on my screen that says "Adjbrightness is asking for superuser..." and then I'll go check the application and it'll have adjusted the brightness back to say, 79.

Any way to lock the brightness setting or prevent Adj from changing it? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jasonsf:
I tried this on my Galaxy S (Epic 4G) and uninstalled when I encountered the "can't turn screen back on" bug. Now my auto-brightness doesn't work. Any idea what was changed that disabled the ambient light sensor from controlling the brightness?

Jason
[Android Apps and Games] ChodTheWacko:
I just tried this on a rooted mytouch 4g.

Any setting less than 20 causes the screen to completely black out.

Seems to work OK otherwise - still looking for a program where I can set the value < 20.

[Android Apps and Games] silverfang77:
On my D2, I use AdjBrightness to keep the four buttons on. Sometimes, they stay on, sometimes they turn off right after I exit the app. Do I need to leave AdjBrightness running in the background in order for the settings to stick?

Also, any chance AdjBrightness' scope could be extended to control the keyboard's backlight as well?

wow nice app...

but how to make LED on my defy die when charging..??
[Android Apps and Games] Xenous:
Well it is a great app which allows to you lower the brightness beyond the lowest level available for your phone which improves the battery life. Other apps on market like screen filter just add one more layer on the screen which reduces the glare but does not have any impact on the battery life since it has no control over the backlight.

Other similar app is SuperDim(Dimroot).

Replacing adjbrightness

While the author provides us with a tasker plugin, I will try to recreate some program funcionality in tasker:

(My device is xperia pro. Thus, I can test it working there)

Turn off the HARDWARE button leds:

su

echo "0" > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/button-backlight/brightness

(and locking ofc: )

chmod 500 /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/button-backlight/brightness

These reset with every reboot, so you will have to run them "on boot" (duh) :rolleyes:

Change Screen Brightness

echo "10" > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Substitute "10" for your target brightness. This resets EVERYTIME your screen turns on, so you will have to run it..... you guessed right on "Display on" :good:

(A slider widget would be cool.... ponders, ponders....)

more coming

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
While I'm probably not going to run this lockscreen myself (I prefer the rotary style), I saw this request go unfulfilled for a few weeks, so I figured I'd crack it open and take a look once I had a free moment.

Turns out, the primary problem with attempting to run the GSM Hero port on our CDMA Heros was due to inconsistencies in our framework files causing the call to incorrect graphics.

All credit goes to the original port from Desire to GSM Hero by HomerSp. I simply decompiled, edited where necessary, and recompiled to get working on our CDMA Heros.

For those unaware, the Desire lockscreen is very similar to our stock HTC lockscreen, with the exception being that when you swipe down the unlock bar, the background / wallpaper remains static / does NOT move with the bar. Apparently, some like this suttle difference better than our default lockscreen.
